I have defined 3 user-defined contours for various elevations in my pond. I would like to disply them differently from one another, so I set their display styles in the analysis window where I created them. Unfortunately, the are only displayed per the settings in the surface style which is 1 - not what I want and 2 - all identitical. I have tried various settings in the surface style, but the contours will not display the way I have selected in the analysis window.

I would think your going to need to paste your surface into a new surface for each contour you need displayed diffetent. Each with thier own style.

Good idea. Luckily there are only 3 that need to stand out. Strange that they would tease us with the possibility of doing it simply and all in one spot. Thanks.
Think I'd be inclined to extract them as polylines rather than cluttering up the drawing with additional surfaces??
